Stereotypes aren't just a Jewish thing. Russians are drunks, Japanese are perverts, Germans are ass kissers, French believe in baptizing the wine and the milk, koreans are pinchpennies, Arabs like to smile to your face as they slip the dirk in your back, English are blowhards, Italians prefer discretion to valor, etc etc.

We can play this game all day. Not that it has any connection to reality. A stereotype is what is in your head, not what actually exists. Are there jews out there who are miserly and argumentative over trivia? I am sure there are. Given the conditions of the Ghettos of europe over the last 500 years keeping close watch over the pennies is healthy. And any group of people who are willing to look down their noses at folks who want them to renounce their own stupid in favor of the stupid of the herd around them or suffer the consequences must like being contrary for its own sake.

Stereotypes have no connection to reality ? None ?

You will always find an example to that conforms to your prejudice. Russia is full of drunks, given German history, asskissing there has been raised to an art form. Shady commercial practice among the French is legendary. Italian tanks supposedly have 1 gear forward and 5 gears in reverse.

Given the range character types, you will always find one to conform to your prejudices. You have to step back and recognize that most of the __________ (fill in the blank) dont' conform.
there are sober russians, chaste Japanese, profligate Koreans, quiet english, honest french tradesmen, valorous italians, principled Germans. The way you do any inquiry is to test your theories against realities, and when the reality does not meet the theory, toss the theory, not the reality.

WRONG! Stereotypes exist because of reality. It's a generalization of a group of people that usually has a basis in fact. And if someone in whatever group they are in are bothered by it, they need to get over it because it's the way of the world.

Really? Try telling a rape joke to someone to someone who's been raped. They need to get over it too.

And laughing at stereotypes is the best method to deal with such generalizations. (imo) which is detaching the stereotype from the derogatory intent.

How do you know Chinese people move into your neighborhood ?
The Mexicans start to buy car insurance.


The negative stereotype about the Chinese is that they can't drive, the negative stereotype about the Mexicans that they are irresponsible, carefree, and by implication too damn lazy and stupid to get insurance unless it's clear even to them that it has become desperately necessary to do so. The implication is that Chinese and Mexicans are not the same as nice normal white folks - they're horrible drivers, irresponsible, shiftless, and bad for the neighborhood.

(1700's joke)

A Russian serf sees the Tzar (Lord of the land) coming by in horse and carriage. The carriage stops and amazingly the Tzar comes out to speak with the serf.

The astonished serf just stands there mouth open while the Tzar tells him about his family lineage taking care of his land. He bestows a wish on the serf saying:

"Whatever You Wish, If It Is Within My Power, I Will Grant You". The serf thought, a carriage like the Tzars, or a Castle like the Tzars.

The Tzar asked him what he wished but added, "Whatever you wish, I will give double for your neighbor".

The serf thought, "A Carriage"! and thought of his neighbor with two. He thought, "A Castle"! and then thought of his neighbor with two.

He looked at the Tzar and said.

"Poke Out One Of My Eyes".

A Russian and a Jew were travelling on a train. At lunchtime the Jew took out some sardines and the Russian some chicken. They began to eat.

'Tell me,' said the Russian, munching away, 'how is it that all you Jews are so clever?'

'How can I explain it,' replied the Jew.

'Well, take our lunch for example. You're eating chicken and I'm having sardines. Sardines are fish, fish contain phosphorus and phosphorus improves the brain . . .'

The Russian thought for a bit:

'Listen, how about swapping?'

They swapped. The Jew polished off the chicken and the Russian ate the sardines.

'Well, now what?' The Russian began thinking aloud. 'I've eaten the sardines and I'm still hungry.'

'Ah-h-h!' said the Jew. 'You can see that it's working already!'

To test the nutritional value of corn Krushchev summoned a Russian, a Ukrainian and a Jew and ordered them to eat nothing but corn for three months.

At the end of this period they were brought to Krushchev again to be weighed. The Russian had lost twenty kilograms, the Ukrainian ten, whereas the Jew had gained five.

Krushchev was overjoyed: 'Well, Comrade Rabinovich, tell us how you did it!'

'Quite simple, Comrade Krushchev. I filtered the corn through chickens.'

A Rabbit is jogging in the forest. The Rabbit approaches a Fox.
That's no normal Fox, because he snorts Speed in the forest.
The Rabbit says: "Hey Fox, leave that shit and join me jogging".

The Rabbit and the Fox are now jogging and approach a Grizzly-Bear.
That's no normal Grizzly-Bear, because he injects Heroin into his Arms.
The Rabbit says: "Hey, Grizzly-Bear leave that shit and join us jogging."

The Rabbit, the Fox and the Grizzly-Bear are now jogging and approach a Lion.
That's no normal Lion, because he snorts Cocaine in the forest.
The Rabbit says: "Hey, Lion leave that shit and join us jogging."

The Lion makes a giant jump and kills the Rabbit with his claws and says to the Fox and Bear:
"Idiots, he always jumps through the forest when he is on Ecstasy."

Murphy approached Mulligan's bar. On the step outside he was accosted by a nun, Sister Marie, who said:

'Surely a fine man like yourself is not going into this den of iniquity? Surely you're not going to waste your hard-earned cash on the devil's brew. Why don't you go home and feed and clothe your wife and children?'

'Hang on, Sisters,' spluttered Murphy. 'How can you condemn alcohol out of hand? Surely it's wrong to form such a rash judgement when you've never tasted the stuff?'

'Very well,' said Sister Marie. Till taste it just to prove my point. Obviously I can't go into the pub, so why don't you bring me some gin. Oh, and just to camouflage my intent, maybe you should bring it in a cup not a glass!'

'OK,' said Murphy and into the bar he breezed.

'I'll have a large gin,' he said to the barman. 'And can you put it in a cup?'

'My God,' said the barman, 'that nun's not outside again is she?'

Hi R&E people... I just searched the web for 10 minutes looking for the right forum to ask these things that are on my mind about this kind of religious thing I have been reading on the web for a couple months. I am not a frequent poster on discussion groups so I am not that familiar about how this works so I am just going to treat it like I am asking people their opinion about something at a party in real life. I actually would literally just ask people in real life that might be able to answer these hard questions I have but they get offended when I ask them. So first let me introduce myself like I'm meeting you in real life. I am a college student. My name is Britney. I am attractive I think (if that matters) and I dress well. I think people think I am smart. I have a good GPA and dont watch reality TV...LOL. I am not Jewish though I have some Jewish people in my extended family.

Why is it not ok to talk about Jewish stereotypes? For example I just asked a girl I know why the stereotype exists that Jewish people are cheap and she got extremely offended. I wasn't saying I believe they are cheap I was just asking why it exists. Jeeze louise.

This was all spurned because I was looking at this guy's blog. I was weirded about by it at first. This guy calls himself the annoying jew. He is Jewish. I have never seen anything like that. My first impression was that I was insulted and then I thought, hmm...this seems interesting and now I'm addicted to the disjointed things he writes about and I don't know why. I have been tempted to post on it but it still seems outrageous on some levels, or wrong to participate in it... AnnoyingJew.com

I don't know for sure whether this would be a good guy to ask anyway. I think I see the point of his blog sometimes but then other times it seems satirical and that's not what I am interested in.

Anyway my point of asking all this is that it seems everyone else can talk about the funny things about their religion except Jewish people. Are they the only ones that can even talk about the ideas in their religion that seem annoying to other people?

HELP. Please

You obviously lead a sheltered life. Some of the funniest jokes againsts Jews have been told by Jews!

without Jews, fags, and gypsies, there is no theatre. ..
